Although a few folks do not have an internet/telephone connected data device, the most of us do. Even those without a direct need for internet service may need to ride in an ambulance that needs that mobile connection to the hospital, while they try to save our lives. Internet is an infrastructure requirement just like electricity, just the way life is now.

It’s been inspiring to follow the Bulletin’s coverage of the developing story of “Teens with a Dream”, to be involved by financial contribution, and to see this Bedford-based organization serve as a pilot program for towns and cities in other states, and also receive recognition for their work.

For generously supporting the “Dare to Care” TLC (toys for local Children) “A Child’s Christmas” program!
We were worried about the Toy Count, with us not having the Flotilla this year but, the SML community pulled through for the children! This year, we’ve collected around 2500 toys, for our local children of need!
We would like to thank Westlake Auto for all they do for our toy drive!

Recently Rick Howell wrote an article in your paper trying to make the case that college educated people voted in waves for Hillary Clinton in the last election -- trying to make the point that uneducated Trump voters were stupid. The only thing it proves to me is that when you educate an idiot -- all you get is an educated idiot.

As a new resident in Bedford County, I have taken note of the significant number of young people that have lost their lives in auto accidents. As a parent that has lost a child, I would like to share a source of comfort, especially during this time of year. (My youngest son was an Iraq War veteran - a victim of PTSD)

In a column two weeks ago called “Liberal Agenda” the writer expressed an infatuation for Hillary Clinton that a great wave of middle-class, tax-paying voters in our democratic country did not agree with.

I was reading this week’s newspaper, and on the front page was a story about a policeman named Chevon Thompson.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at the YMCA about a month ago. He was working out in the weight room. And I said to myself, man that’s a big fellow. After watching him for a little while working out, I finally asked him which football team he played for.

On Saturday, Oct. 29 my wife Bev and I attended the fall concert of the Bedford Community Orchestra at Bedford Middle School..What an OUTSTANDING 2 + hours of musical entertainment.!!! The 13 selections the orchestra performed ranged from a salute to Rogers &Hammerstein, sound tracks by John Williams, music from Apollo 13, Star Trek & much more.
